Selins Grove White Horse Porter

Brewed by Selins Grove Brewing Co.
Style: Porter
Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania USA

Surprisingly hoppy, herbal, grassy, vegetal aroma with plenty of chocolate, soy and roasty character as well. Dark brown body with a low tan head that recedes to ring. Chocolate subtone to the intensely roasty flavour with some light fruitiness emerging after the strong bitter finish in the aftertaste. Medium light body is quite dry with lively carbonation that is softly engaging on the tongue. Sampled on the PA trip 2005.

Tap at brewpub. Dark brown, almost black pour with creamy and firm light brown head. Roasted malt aroma, chocolate, coffee, and black strap molasses. Nice dry roasted malt flavor with a good hop background. Molasses really comes thru in the finish with espresso and bitter chocolate. Smooth and soft on the palate, light to medium body. An awesome beer, one of my favorite Porters (I have this often). Very good session beer, though a little high at 5.5% for long session drinking.

Deep brown with amber highlighhts with a very small head. Aroma was sweet with lots of chocolate and some black harsh malts. Flavor has a molasses/sugary taste along with a light malt backbone and low body. Good amount of chocolate flavors throughout which was nice.

Pours a dark brown color with brown highlights and a ring of light brown lace. Aroma of soy and roasted malt. Flavor of soy, chocolate and roasted malt with a bitter finish. The body is light with a dry texture and medium carbonation.

I had this at the brewery, it was a very dark brown with a small tan head that had good retention. The taste is of chocolate, carmel, and coffee and is well balanced.

Very dark, almost black, it pours from a growler with a limited head. Good supporting vegetal hops stage behind straightforwardly chocolatey malts, airy and fruity if not showing tons of depth besides cigary roastiness. Drinkability beyod criticism, light-medium bodied, gentle carbonation. Seemed a bit middle of the road to me, but I feel the growler might not render it full justice and I’m certainly looking forward to visiting the pub in upcoming years.

Poured a mahogany color with a small, light tan head that left light lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malts, smoke, tobacco, and chocolate as well. Taste of roasted coffee, some smoke, chocolate, caramel malts, and a light hoppiness as well.

really good porter and the best one that i’ve had from this brewery so far. Nice full dark body with a nice cream head. Has a nice roasted taste and a great finish.
